[6.12 series - Increased power consumption - GPU/PCI-E Passthrough]

It turns out it is because of the Kingston SSD I use. Replaced with a Samsung 980 Pro now, power consumption has dropped. Same experience described here. I also suspect I may have had this issue for longer than I thought, without noticing.

 

I hope you get to the bottom of your issue.

This issue is still present in 6.12.6.

 

I can provide a syslog at the weekend as I may have some spare time, I could also run certain commands if needed at the same time, so if there is any useful information that doesn't come with the diagnostics, please provide the commands now.

 

Thanks.

I came across your thread here and your posts in the powertop thread trying to understand my own increase in power consumption that I noticed yesterday.
 

I was running 6.9.X for a long time and decided to upgrade to 6.12.6 after some plugins wouldn’t update some weeks ago.

 

I haven’t checked power consumption in a long time but I was idling at between 42-50 watts and I was surprised it now is around 72 watts. I have two VMs running and some docker containers.

 

I can’t really power things down as it runs the internet here as well 😁 But will try to test over the weekend to see if I can see the same issues as you.
